I think all that came out little by little. We made most of our debt married though!

We got married eleven months after we met; we started talking about finances when we were deciding where to live (he was in New Jersey and I was in Chicago).

I think it was after we got married- but then again we new how much per hour we made so I think it was only a matter of sitting down and figuring how much that was a year.

I also think that he new about my $2000 in credit card debt. At the time we didn't have any other debt except that.
